Using SSDT-BI in Visual Studio 2012 to create and maintain SSRS, SSAS, SSIS in SQL Server 2008 R2

Hi, My management is wanting all the developers (database and .net) to upgrade from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual Studio 2012. We are currently using SQL Server 2008 R2 for our data warehouse and using Business Intelligence (SSIS,
SSAS, and SSRS) to maintain it. Our database team is also wanting to create database projects and include that in our Team Foundation Server 2010 code repository along with our BI code. From what I've been able to research googling the
internet is there are two products available SSDT and SSDT-BI which can be installed into VS2012, but it appears that only SSDT for database projects is the only thing that will work until we someday upgrade to SQL Server 2012. Most of the information
I've found on the internet regarding this subject is over a year old and a lot can change in a year. So my questions are can we install VS2012 and both SSDT and SSDT-BI to create and maintain the SSIS, SSRS, and SSAS currently in our SQL Server 2008
R2 database? If we can install these three items, VS2012 and the two SSDTs, and are able to create new BI and maintain our current BI in our SS2008R2 database then what issues might we have with our TFS2010 code repository? We prefer
to use only VS2012 or VS2008 but not both at the same time. If we can't do everything we are currently doing in VS2008 with our SS2008R2 database by switching to VS2012 and the two SSDTs then we will stay with VS2008 until we someday upgrade
to SS2012. Please advise and thank you. James M.

I'm going to move this to the SSAS blog, where most SSDT-BI questions are answered (this forum mainly answers SSDT questions). Someone there may be able to give you better information but here's what I know:
- I think you'll only need to install SSDT-BI since you're using SSIS, SSAS and SSRS. SSDT is the database tooling which it sounds like you wouldn't use, and it's actually built into VS2012 in any case.
- SSIS projects don't work with earlier versions of SQL Server, but SSAS and SSRS do. Details are on
this blog post. I don't have enough knowledge to suggest workarounds or best practices for handling the SSIS issue. Perhaps you could keep 2 projects, or 2 branches of the same project (one for 2012, one for 2008) if that's possible? I think your BIDS projects
will be upgraded to SSDT-BI compatible projects so it's work checking them into source control, upgrading, then comparing to understand what's changed. You might be able to keep the same overall source and just change a few settings in the different branches?
Hopefully someone on the SSAS forum can help give you more information and suggestions.

SSIS failed to execute in SSDT-BI for Visual studio 2012 after SQL 2012 SP2 upgrade

Hello,
I have applied sql server 2012 sp2 on my dev workstation and I am currently having this error message when trying to execute a SSIS package from SSDT-BI for visual studio 2012 : "Method
not found: 'Boolean Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Design.VisualStudio2012Utils.IsVisualStudio2012ProInstalled()'. (Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration)"
I found this link on SSIS forum :
IsVisualStudio2012ProInstalled() method not found error when running an SSIS package from VS2012
I don't have neither Gacutil.exe nor Visual studio professional installed so it can't be fixed this way... and anyway, this means we will use the old assembly version of ssis...
sql server 2012 sp2 setup doesn't apply to SSDT-BI 2012 ?
what can we do ?
thanks,
Stéphane

Hi Stephane Guilleminot,
According to your description, you do not execute a SSIS package from SSDT-BI for visual studio 2012 after upgrading to SQL Server 2012 SP2. The workaround is still necessary to apply SP2 and CU1 for SP2 (11.0.5532), then you still have to replace Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Design.dll
(11.0.5532.0) with the last working version: 11.0.3412.0 from SP1 CU9.
There is similar issue about executing SSIS package after upgrading SQL Server 2012, you can review the following similar post.

Visual Studio 2012 is no longer able to interact with any TFS server

I can connect to the on-premise TFS2012 server using the instance of VS2012 installed on the server machine as well as the instance of VS2012 installed on a coworker's machine.
I was able to interact with TFS2012 using the instance of VS2012 installed on my Win7 x64 machine, but only one time. Many reboots later, both of the server itself and my machine, I haven't been able to get VS2012 to interact properly with TFS.
When I click on "Team" and select "Connect to Team Foundation Server", the "Team Explorer" VS window opens. In that window, no matter what button or link I click on, Visual
Studio won't connect to TFS or allow me to choose a TFS server.
1. Clicking on the Home icon takes me to page with two buttons: Pending Changes & settings.
Clicking on "Pending Changes" takes me to a page where I can do 3 things: click on "no workspace" (nothing happens), click on Actions -> Open Source Control Explorer (which opens an
empty Source Control Explorer Window, from which I can do nothing), click on "Settings", which shows me a page with 4 options:
Security: clicking it results in the message "Team Foundation Error. Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
Group Membership: clicking it results in the message "Team Foundation Error. Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
Source Control: clicking it results in the message "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: serverName"
Process Template Manager: clicking it results in the message "Value cannot be null: Parameter name: tpc"
2. Clicking on the "Connect to Team Projects" icon takes me to a page where I can click on either:
"Configure Team Projects": clicking it does nothing
"Connect": clicking it does nothing
"Sign Up": opens a Visual Studio Online page on my web browser
If I instead go to File -> Source Control -> Advanced, there is only one option which appears to be working:
Change Source Control. When I click on it I get a window with a table with rows that correspond to the current solution and the projects in the current solution. ie:
Solution/Project: {item name}
Server Name: "<No Server>"
Server Binding: "<No Server>"
Connected: {gray uncheckable checkbox}
Status: "Not Controlled"
Local Binding:
Provider:
Relative path:
The buttons "Connect", "Disconnect", "Browse" are disabled. Clicking on the "Bind" button results in a window with the message "The mappings
for the solution could not be found" and two buttons: Ok and
Help. Clicking on Help results in a white window with the message:
"The 'EurekaPackage' package did not load correctly. The problem may have been caused by a configuration change or by the installation of another extension. You can get more information by examining the file 'C:\User\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ActivityLog.xml'.
Continue to show this error message?"
Clicking "yes" open the following page on my web browser, which essentially tells me to go back to the "Change Source Control" window and unbind the project, which VS is not letting me do:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/query/dev11.query?appId=Dev11IDEF1&l=EN-US&k=k%28vs.tfc.sourcecontrol.MessageConnectionManagerCantBind%29;k%28TargetFrameworkMoniker-.NETFramework
The following is an excerpt from the "ActivityLog.xml" file mentioned in the white window that appeared when I clicked on the "Help" button:

What, if anything, can I do in order to be able to get Visual Studio 2012 to interact with TFS?

I'll add that when I run devenv.exe with the flag /TFSLink, VS opens a Team Explorer window that contains the following text:

SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSDT BI) and SSIS on SQL Server 2012

This great blog entry titled
SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSDT BI), link below, highlights the lack of support for SSIS projects using SQL Server 2012, VS 2013 and SSDT BI for VS 2013. I see there is a new version
on SSDT BI for VS 2013 (12.0.2430.0, File Name: SSDTBI_x86_ENU.exe, Date Published: 10/27/2014) link below.
Does this version support SSIS projects using SQL Server 2012 using VS 2013 and SSDT BI for VS 2013?

Hi cjrinpdx,
According to the picture, it seems that we can use SSIS 2012 support is not included in SSDT-BI for VS 2013. And based on the previous versions, SSIS always different from SSRS, SSAS.
SSDT-BI for Visual Studio 2012 supports versions of SQL Server as follows:
SSAS project can target SQL 2012 or lower
SSRS project can target SQL 2012 or lower
SSIS project can target only SQL 2012
The following blog is for your reference:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/dataplatforminsider/archive/2013/11/13/microsoft-sql-server-data-tools-update.aspx
Since I have no environment to test this at this moment,
I recommend you that submit the feedback at

Thank you for your understanding.

Unable to run the CODED UI in visual studio 2012 on windows 8

Hi,
I have recorded my first program (i.e Open windows calculator using Windows +R and typing calc in it) using CODED UI in visual studio 2012.
I have create the new solution using CODED UI project. I have use the Recorded the steps using UImap- Coded Ui test builder.(i.e just opening the calc). All the class file ,CodedUitest1.cs, UIMap.cs, UIMAp.Designer.cs is generated.
Now when i am trying to run the same test by using right click on Coded Ui method and trying to Click RunTests method I am getting the following below error
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 0 failed, 1 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
Could any one please help me if i need to add some special setting while running the code.

You didn't specify any error. The Build message is saying that MSBuild ran and found that 1 project was already up to date and didn't need to be rebuilt. There were no other projects that were built.

SQL Server 2008 R2: which version of Visual Studio do I need to keep database projects and SSIS projects in the same solution

I need to build a solution containing a database project and an integration services project for SQL Server 2008R2. Apparently, the subset of Visual Studio tools that comes with SQL Server 2008R2 does not include database projects and does not have
Team Foundation Server support. Because of those limitations, I am trying to determine which version of Visual Studio will allow me to:
1. Build a single solution that includes both a database project and an Integration Services project
2. For the database project, be able to import a database schema from an existing SQL Server 2008 R2 database, do schema compares and update the project from the database and vice versa
3. For the Integration Services project, be able to deploy the packages to SQL Server Integration Services on SQL Server 2008 R2 (that is, to the msdb database).
4. Use Team Foundation Server for source control of the whole solution, including both project types.

Hi G Britton,
To build a solution containing a database project and an integration services project for SQL Server 2008 R2 and use Team Foundation Server for source control.
You can choose to install Visual Studio 2008.
And as you want to utilize Schema compare and/or Data compare functionalities in Visual Studio, you will need to install the
Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition or Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Suite.
In addition, for Visual Studio issues, I would like to recommend you post the question in the
Visual
Studio forums to get better support.

Compare and Synchronize Database Schemas
Interoperability and Coexistence (Integration Services)

Msg 8631 Internal error: Server stack limit has been reached on SQL Server 2012 from T-SQL script that runs on SQL Server 2008 R2

I have an Script mostly that is generated by SSMS which works with-out issue on SQL Server 2008, but when I attempt to run it on a new fresh install of SQL Server 2012 I get an Msg 8631. Internal error: Server stack limit has been reached. Please look for
potentially deep nesting in your query, and try to simplify it.
The script itself doesn't seem to be all that deep or nested. The script is large 2600 lines and when I remove the bulk of the 2600 lines, it does run on SQL Server 2012. I'm just really baffled why something that SQL Server generated with very
few additions/changes AND that WORKS without issue in SQL Server 2008 R2 would suddenly be invalid in SQL Server 2012
I need to know why my script which is working great on our current SQL Server 2008 R2 servers suddenly fails and won't run on an new SQL Server 2012 server. This script is used to create 'bulk' Replications on a large number of DBs saving a tremendous
amount of our time doing it the manual way.
Below is an 'condensed' version of the script which fails. I have removed around 2550 lines of specific sp_addarticle statements which are mostly just copy and pasted from what SQL Management Studio 'scripted' for me went I when through the Replication
Wizard and told it to save to script.

Hi,
According to your description, it seems like VS itself problem, you can try to repair this program through Control Panel for test. If no use, it would be better to post your question at VS forum for further assistance.

How do I load an SSIS package created in Visual Studio 2012 Shell (Integrated) onto SQL Server 2012 using SQL Management Studio 2012

I am fairly new to this whole process of working with the Microsoft development environment. Here is what I have to work with:
an NT server running Microsoft SQL 2012 - Microsoft SQL Server Standard (64-bit) 11.0.2100.60
and on my laptop (all freebie downloads):
SQL Server Management Studio 2012 ver 11.0.2100.60
Visual Studio 2012 Express for Desktop Development and
Visual Studio 2012 Shell (Integrated)
I was able to create an SSIS package in
2012 Shell (Integrated). It takes a flat file and imports it into an SQL database table. It runs successfully from within the
2012 Shell (Integrated) envrionment.
But I am having trouble figuring out how to set this up on the 2012 SQL Server. I see that one of my colleagues created an Integration Services Catalog,
and using SQL Management Studio I was able to create a folder under that called DigLic. But when I go to the Projects subfolder of DigLic and attempt to import my SSIS package, I get an error message:
"To launch the Integration Services Deployment wizard, one of the components: Integration Services, Management Tools - Basic or Business Intelligence Development Studio has to be installed by the SQL Server
2012 Standard, Enterprise, Developer, or Evaluation Edition. To install a component, run SQL Server Setup and Select the component name"
I realize that Express Versions of Visual Studio lack the full feature set of a professional version. But am I wrong in assuming that owning a server version of SQL Server 2012 gives us license to a professional
version of SQL Management Studio 2012? If so, how would I go about getting this software component installed? And I am not clear if this is something that needs to be installed on our SQL Server or if I simply need a professional version of SSMS
loaded on my laptop.
I work for a company that is fairly fractured in its repsonsibilities, so I would need to know exactly what to ask for if I need to track down any licenses that I might need and if I need to have any specific software installed on our SQL server or on my
laptop.
All helpt would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Arthur,
Thank you for your reply. But at this point, one of my points of confusion is what software I have available to me. I wish I had a useful central help desk to call up and just say, "Hey, load me up with all of the professional version(s) of Visual
Studio. But I do not know what we have license to. And I kind of need to know what the options are, so that I can ask a specific question of our vast buracracy.
For now, I have downloaded only free versions of Visual Studio client software. Since my company does have servers running Microsoft SQL Server, I am going to assume that we have proper licensing for those servers. But does that server license
allow me to get any professional versions of the PC client software for the various Visual Studio(s) 2012?
And if I get a professional version of Visual Studio 2012, does that do away with the three different flavors that I have right now? I have 2012 versions of SQL Server Management Studio, Visual Studio Express, and Visual Studio Shell (Integrated).
Your feedback is much appreciated.
Thanks!

Sharepoint 2013 - Can I use Visual Studio 2012 express edition for web-parts and app parts?

I am new to sharepoint 2013. I want to develop the app and web parts using visual studio 2012 express edition. Can I use vs 2012 express edtion to create app and web parts for sharepoint 2013?

Unfortunately no, check this post:
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/52338/sharepoint2013-development-with-vs2012-express
To build SharePoint 2013 webparts/apps you will need the 'Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2012', which do not come as part of Visual Studio. The tools require Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate, Premium, or Professional.
The tools and prerequisites can be found here:

I have VMware Fusion installed on my computer along with windows 7. I'm able to use Visual Studios 2012

I have VMware Fusion installed on my computer along with windows 7. I’m able to use Visual Studios 2012 & 2013; however, when I try to install SQL Server is says I don’t have a valid installation folder. So I guess my question is, can you install SQL Server to a MAC?
Thanks!

Make sure you have the right version...

How create Windows Services in Azure using Visual Studio 2012

Hi,
I have a need to write a Windows Service (Batch Job), which would execute everyday at a specified time, say 4:00AM. This job will do some processing and will send out an email to predefined users. I am using Visual Studio 2012 for the development.
Based on some research, it looks like that Azure doesn't have a concept of Windows Service. Rather, we need to create WorkerRole to achieve the same.
I wrote the code to implement the WorkerRole. The problem, I am facing is that
1. How to prevent the continuous looping of the code below? I want the task to be executed only once a day at 4:00AM
2. How do I schedule this functionality in Azure?
Any help will be highly appreciated. I have provided the code sample below.
Thanks.
   public class WorkerRole : RoleEntryPoint
        public override void Run()
            while (true)
                SendNewsEmail();
                Thread.Sleep(10000);
       private void SendNewsEmail()
            /*Email Logic Goes Here*/
        public override bool OnStart()
            // Set the maximum number of concurrent connections
            ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit = 12;
            return base.OnStart();

HI
I think JuneT's answer is what you want.
However it's for Azure website.
If you still want to use a workerRole, you need much harder work.
You can use Timers Class to do such things:

How do I schedule this functionality in Azure
I suggest you save the settings file in a cloud table, and notify your webrole using WCF service to let the service get the new settings when your changed it.
